IMPROVEMENT IN DRAWER-PULLS.

Specification formingpart of Letters Patent No. 183,477, dated October 17, 1876; application filed August 21, 1876.

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM N. WEEDEN, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and Stateof Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Drawer-Pulls and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon,

' to .be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, 1n

Figure 1, a front View; Fig. 2, a side View; Fig. 3, a top view; Fig. 4, the base 5 and in Fig. 5, the handle detached. I

This invention relates to an improvement in that class of drawer-pulls in which a handle is hinged to a plate or base, so as to stand in a vertical position when not in use, but which readily rises to a horizontal position when pulled upon to open the drawer.

The invention consists in a base of sheet metal, with the hinging-ears turned up from The handle-B may be of any desirable shape, formed with a trunnion, 6, upon each side, corresponding to the perforations d in the ears at. These trunnions are introduced into these perforations before the ears are set into their right-angular position, so that the said trunnions and perforations form the hinge-connection between the handle and the base, and upon which the handle may be raised to a horizontal position, or, if left free,

will fall, by its own gravity, into a vertical pofeature of thisinvention being forming the.

base from sheet metal, with the ears turned up therefrom, as a means of hinging the handle.

I claim- The herein-described drawer-pull, consisting of the skeleton sheet-metal base, with the ears or cut-out portion turned up therefrom, combined with a swinging handle hinged to the said ears, substantially as specified.
